Personal Injury:
Each year, thousands of people in Oklahoma suffer serious injury or death due to the negligence of another. The resulting injuries are identified as personal injuries, and are typically any injury to the physical or emotional being. However, personal injuries can also result in actual damages such as lost wages and medical expenses.
Personal injury claims typically involve defective products, toys, motor vehicle accidents, falls, 
and other injuries resulting from another's negligence or unreasonable conduct. If you have suffered this type of injury, it is crucial that you take immediate action. Oklahoma law imposes strict time deadlines on personal injury actions and if you fail to act in a timely manner, you may be barred from ever pursuing your right to compensation. In certain cases, Oklahoma law requires that an injured person give “notice” of their claim within a specific period of time or the claim will be barred.

Workers Compensation:
Frequently, employees are hurt while working due to no fault of their own. If the 
injury occurred due to negligence on the part of the employer and/or property owner, Workers Compensation would take effect.
Workers Compensation benefits include medical payments, income, vocational rehabilitation, disability compensation and death benefits as appropriate. However, depending on the case, benefits allowed through Workers Compensation may not be all the injured party can recover.
If you have suffered an on-the-job injury, please contact the GPHG Law Firm today.
Estate Planning:
Wills and Trusts are tools used in estate planning. The general Wills & Probate misconception of a will or trust is that only the wealthy should consider them. An estate plan can provides the legal mechanism for a person to dispose of property upon their death in a way that recognizes their wishes and the needs of their survivors, while minimizing taxes on their estate. An estate plan may also involve the planning for the handling of affairs in case of disability or medical choices to be made as life nears its end such as a living will.
The importance of quality legal advice for executors of estates and trustees of trusts cannot be overstated.
